Welcome to the Community, REN9.
Yes, the link you've provided above is correct on how to set up your Chart of Accounts for payroll.
When matching payroll payments it will be based on the default payment account you've set on Payroll Settings. Let me show you how to check.
- Go to Employees tab.
- Select Payroll Settings and then Chart of Accounts.
- Select on the Default accounts to reveal the Payment account you've set.
If you've selected Payroll Clearing as a payment account, you'll need to allocate the bank feed to Payroll Clearing. However, if it is set to a bank account you can match the bank feed to the payroll journal exported to QuickBooks Online after you've finalised your pay run.
For more detailed information, you can check on this article: Matching payroll payments in QuickBooks Online
